[NMScience] A+ for Energy workshop schedule

[Connealy, Selena, DCA]

Learn about this exciting opportunity for NM teachers and apply for
funds!

 

BP (an energy company with a presence in NM) is providing $500,000 for
grants to NM teachers through its A+ for Energy Program.  NM teachers
can apply for $5,000 or $10,000 grants to implement classroom,
after-school, extra-curricular or summer projects that foster
energy-conscious thinking. 

 

Any pre K-12 teacher in New Mexico's public or private schools is
eligible to submit an application.  BP encourages teachers of all
disciplines to apply!  Think creatively: energy concepts can be
incorporated into drama or dance productions, multi-media presentations,
social studies themes, history lessons, language arts classes, math
sessions, science topics, etc.!

 

You don't have to work on this alone!  BP is offering workshops and
technical assistance to teachers in NM.  Workshops are scheduled in
